Ex-Manchester United defender Ritchie De Laet signs new Leicester deal

The 25-year-old Belgian has started every Premier League game for the Foxes this season and he revealed he is sticking with the club as they took a "risk" by signing him back in 2012.

De Laet told Leicester's official website: “I’m so happy to sign a new deal here at Leicester. I’m settled, my family has settled and hopefully it’ll be a good thing for the Club and me. I just want to finish this year well, stay in the Premier League and kick on from there.

“Leicester took a risk with me at the start when they brought me here without a lot of experience and they stuck with me, so now I’m doing the same thing with them.

“It’s been nearly the same group since I’ve been here. Most have signed new contracts to stay with Leicester, so we’re a group that are tied together and we’ll fight together to stay in the Premier League.”

De Laet began his career at Royal Antwerp before joining Stoke in 2007.

Manchester United bought the right-back in 2009 but he failed to establish himself at the Red Devils.
